Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (I use 85/15)
  • 1 oz packet taco seasoning or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning
  • 10 oz canned diced tomatoes with green chiles, not drained
  • 8 ounces spaghetti noodles
  • 2 1/4 cups water or low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (I used 1/3 fat)

Optional Garnish/Toppings:

  • Parsley or Chopped Green Onion
  • Salsa
  • Sour Cream

Instructions

  • Use a box grater and shred your cheddar cheese. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet or pot, cook the ground beef on medium high heat until browned and no pink remains. Remove from heat and drain away excess grease.
  • Next, return to heat and add in taco seasoning and diced tomatoes with green chiles. Stir until combined.
  • Next add in the spaghetti noodles and pour water or beef broth on top. Use a spoon to gently press the spaghetti noodles down into the liquid mixture.
  • Let the mixture come to a boil, cover with a lid, and reduce heat to low-medium to simmer for 7-12 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced down. I recommend checking on it and stirring it halfway through.
  • Next lower heat to lowest setting and add in cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until evenly combined.  If desired, you can save some of the shredded cheese for garnishing on top at the end.
  • Remove from heat and serve with additional toppings if desired.
